owner/ property management filed an insurance claim on an existing burn hole that was blamed on us. My 92-year-old mother slept in the room that had the burn hole. She is definitely not a smoker.You cannot expect us as renters to inspect a property that thoroughly to have found it during our short stay.

Great Stay for our Large Group!
We had a fantastic time staying at this property with 6 adults and 7 kids. The house was clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The backyard was a highlight – the kids had a blast with the games, and the adults loved relaxing on the cozy sofa set by the fire. The jacuzzi was a nice touch, although it only fits 4 people, so we had to take turns.One thing to note: the pool needs to be heated in the winter, and it costs 300 a day to do so. While this was mentioned in the description, it was easy to miss. It’s definitely something to keep in mind if you’re planning to swim in winter.The location was perfect for our trip to Sea World and the beach, and we appreciated being in a nice neighborhood with restaurants nearby. Overall, a great place for a family getaway!

Nice beautiful spacious house with great amenities
The property was very comfortable and clean, plenty of space for all guests and the backyard and living room were great communal areas to hang out with my group of friends visiting san diego. The backyard pool and sitting areas are nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable.
All the rooms and beds felt clean. The kitchen is nice and fully stocked with all you need including plates, cups, coffee and everything you’d need from a kitchen.
Only complaint is the internal decibel audio sensor at night is too sensitive, we kept receiving noise warnings when we were playing games in the house, not even outside.
Still, great property to host a group of friends and visit SD area.

Just WOW!!!
Everything about our stay was amazing. The property was super clean and very well stocked. It was in a very central and safe location. Everything you could think of was available at the property.

We loved our stay!!
We had such a great time during our stay. The home was perfect for our family and accommodated all 7 of us perfectly (2 couples and 3 individuals) without being crowded.
The kitchen is very will stocked with everything we needed, especially the air fryer feature on the oven…such a nice feature.
Despite going in mid November, we managed to have nice weather and were able to enjoy the pool and jacuzzi as well as the outdoor games provided. We’re definitely plan to return again.

Great to come home to!
This is a great home. Kitchen and spaces plenty big for four adults. The beds super comfy. The kitchen is stocked with coffee, tea and everything you need! Super convenient neighborhood w easy access to freeways. The attached bonus room was also a great. Backyard pool and hot tub looked awesome but we never touched it!

Would recommend to anyone traveling with kids!
This was a great property. The back yard is perfect- just like the pictures. There was plenty of room for our group of 6 kids and 5 adults. It is about 15-20 minutes to San Diego. I would highly recommend this property to anyone planning to travel to this area. It was a great stay! Host was great and very responsive!
